[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#246570: alsa-base: missing modprobe/modutils lines for OSS MIDI support

[Darren Salt]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.4-2

snd-seq-oss is not loaded automatically when snd-seq is loaded. This module
is required for access to synths such as on the SB Live by ALSA-unaware
programs such as playmidi and musserv (package lxmusserv).

To fix this, in debian/alsa-base.modutils and debian/alsa-base.modprobe.d,
duplicate the snd-pcm entry and, for the duplicate, s/pcm/seq/g. The
following command will do this:

  sed -re '/snd-pcm/ { p; s/pcm/seq/g }' debian/alsa-base.mod{utils,probe.d}

I did it. I killed them all.
